“So, when did you beco a Grand Master?”
At Jamie’s question, Count Welton unbuckled his sword from his waist and set it aside.
“Well. I cannot say for sure when that happened. Was it because I touched it when I wasn’t too aware?”
The Grand Master is a level that is difficult to experience in person.
It’s because there is no such thing as a manifestation of power like when one turns into a Master.
As they continue to train, they at so point hit that point.
So, the count couldn’t specifically say when.
“Still, you must have felt a change in your body.”
“Hmm. About six years back.”
At the word 6 years back, Jamie was shocked.
Was his father at the Grand Stage before Jamie fully started fighting?
It was natural that he didn’t see his father’s actual level. How could he understand the status of a Grand Master so easily?
Even now, if the count hid his power, Jamie wouldn’t be able to tell.
“Well, I didn’t an to hide it.”
“But you didn’t want to make it known either.”
“Yes.’
It was true that he was a Sword Master, and releasing this information would bring more harm than good.
From then on, regardless of the power and estate, there will be too much interference from the palace.
That isn’t a bad thing, but it wouldn’t be welco for a family man like the Welton lord.
So he hid it.
“No one knows?”
“It was impossible to fool one guy’s eyes. Sword Lord.”
The Sword Lord Tarix Pan, the first sword of the Seldam Kingdom.
One of the swordsn known to be closest to becoming a Grand Master on the continent.
“But why is it impossible to deceive his eyes?”
“It has to do with his ability. Well, if the swordsman is skilled enough, even if you try hiding it, they will know.”
“Right, but it has to be soone like grandfather…”
When Jamie asked, Count Welton smiled in disbelief.
“You don’t know. If soone is as determined as and hides their power, it is hard to find out. But I don’t think my people from my father’s ti would not know. Because that man was similar to your grandfather.”
His grandfather, Chervyl Welton.
Finally, the man reached the status of Grand Master and completed his technique, a technique he had been pursuing all his life.
He tried to pass it on to Count Welton, but Count Welton refused to learn it.
And yesterday, with his own eyes, Jamie saw why the man didn’t have to learn it.
With his own ability, Dinsion Charm, there was no need to have sothing similar.
“I am glad to have had you. Because you can carry out my father’s legacy.”
As Count Welton said, Jamie was learning the technique of his grandfather.
For Jamie, it was sothing that maximized the efficiency of the movent.
Using Future Walker, he could turn the best possible outco into reality.
He seed to understand why his grandfather asked Darius to teach his grandson.
To be precise, he realized it when he saw his father’s ability.
“Father.”
“Right.”
“What is Welton?”
“Um…”
“My ability as Future Walker and father’s Dinsion Charm. If my prediction is right, then grandfather’s power is…”
“Right. The prediction is right. Your grandfather’s ability didn’t have a na. Still, he would call it ‘Earth & Sky’.”
“Earth and Sky…”
“A power to intervene in everything between Heaven and Earth.”
In other words, his grandfather’s power was also linked to space.
What is the probability that three generations of the sa family would have space-related abilities?
Jamie was sure it had to be less than 1%.
It was also a matter of blood.
Count Welton nodded.
“Not just your grandfather. According to the records, my father, grandfather, and all the great grandfathers who reached Master level had space-related abilities.”
It ans that any child of Welton who hits the master state will awaken an ability that has sothing to do with the space.
There was no such family around. Then, what is the Welton Family?
“I don’t know either. I think your grandfather knew sothing, but he wouldn’t tell . And he suddenly left the estate.”
“… I heard sothing from Darius so ti ago.”
“Darius. Of Dark Arena? Well. I guess he must have shown you that Extre Technique.’
Co to think of it, Jamie didn’t speak to his father about what happened five years back, but the count seed to know of the events.
Jamie didn’t bother asking how he knew and continued.
“He said the reason that grandfather made the Extre Technique…. It’s just for .”
Perhaps he didn’t know about this, but the count seed shocked.
‘No wonder…’
The Count rembered his father’s monts before death.
A few days before he died, he called for the Count alone.
-Argeno. If you want, I will pass it on to you. If you want.
Indeed the old man must have been willing to want the technique to pass on to his son. But Count Welton couldn’t feel sincerity in his father’s voice.
At the ti, he thought it was because his father’s voice was already weak…
‘it wasn’t that. My father really didn’t want it to be passed to .’
Perhaps, he had a change of heart before dying and said it aloud.
Why?
Why was he trying to pass this to Jamie so desperately and not to him?
‘No, how did my father even know that Jamie…’
It was as if the man knew Jamie would be born.
It was around the ti when Jamie was still within Sears’ stomach.
Then how!!!
Count Welton’s expression was turning serious when Jamie interrupted his train of thought.
“Father?”
There ca no answer, so he called in a louder voice.
“Dad!”
The count, who ca to his senses, looked at Jamie.
Only then did he know he was in deep thought and apologized.
“Sorry.”
“No. You must be confused. But looking at your reactions, you don’t seem to know.”
“Right. How could your grandfather have prepared sothing for you? I feel like I have to figure this out.”
There was one thing he knew.
A secret study in the mansion which he didn’t pay much attention to after being the Lord.
He thought sothing could be in there. Jamie, too, knew that Count Welton realized sothing but didn’t ask about it.
This is sothing his father had to do.
And he knew that once he knew sothing, his father wouldn’t hide it.
“Well, our Welton family have always awakened their abilities of the sa kind. Don’t worry; this father of yours will find out the secret behind it.”
“Okay.”
“Rather, let’s talk about recapturing Gerin.’
“Yes.”
The sun went down, and the moon rose.
Countless stars were shining on Gerin in the black sky.
It is impossible for the moon and stars to completely remove the darkness of night.
Taking advantage of this darkness, a group of people invaded Gerin.
“When will the reinforcents arrive?”
“It was said to be in 3 days.”
“I am trembling here. We won’t die here, right? Shit…”
“Several tis a day, magicians used to fly from Aegean and cast magic, but why did they stop doing it?’
“Still, we blocked it successfully.”
“That was when I thought I was going to die.”
“it was terrifying…”
As the soldiers of Terrisia who occupied Gerin stood guard, the past few days were hectic.
In particular, not long after Katarina’s army was taken down, the magicians of Seldam attacked to retake Gerin.
Fortunately, they installed thousands of anti-magic artifacts in advance to neutralize it. Still, at that ti, the entirety of Gerin shook as if it had been struck by an earthquake.
If that happened again, could they stop it?
The soldiers who had no knowledge of magic weren’t sure of it.
“I want to go ho.”
“Don’t say that. The others could point their hands at you.”
“Shit! They dragged us in by force!”
“Enough.”
The soldiers grumbled at it and pouted.
It was then.
A silver blade ca through their neck. The soldier’s eyes widened, but he couldn’t even scream.
“Ha. Because you’re talking like that, even I want to see my wife back ho. Je… kuak!”
The other soldier looked down at the sword through his chest with a shocked face. And gripped the hand with trembling hands, but the sword rose straight up and slit his head in two.
2 soldiers in an instant.
Those in black masks wiped the blood off the swords and moved.
The soldiers who were speaking were now cold corpses in the moonlight.
This wasn’t the only thing that happened.
Many other soldiers were assassinated by masked n. The masked n who neutralized them removed the anti-magic artifacts on the walls.
The artifacts were connected, so if a single connected line was cut in, dozens of operating ones would stop.
“Intruder!”
“Catch them!’
However, it seems like when an artifact was destroyed, it gave out a signal, so the soldiers began to co in.
But this much was expected.
The masked n climbed up the wall. Their movents were as light as a spider on its web.
“Archers, shoot them down!”
When the order ca, a rain of arrows descended upon the wall.
At that mont.
Kwaang!!
An endless stream of flas broke out from the walls of Gerin and entered the castle.
The wooden arrows were engulfed in fla and turned to ashes right away.
The commander who ordered the shooting was shocked at the fire magic.
“H-How?!”
With the flas disappearing, soone landed gently.
A tall man with erald hair and fluttering black robes.
And the commander knew who he was.
“J-Jamie Welton.”
The gate, which couldn’t be broken for a whole week, broke down instantly.
Standing in front was Jamie, who said.
“I told you, dad, it isn’t that difficult.”
“Right.”
Said the masked man next to him.
After that, the people in similar masks bowed to the two.
“With just the mbers of the Welton family, the place…”
Count Welton took the mask off and shook his hair.
“We can get this back in no ti.”
“Let’s start.”
“Did everyone hear? We have been given the order. We will take this place back.”
The masked n scattered around, and blood flowed out of the Terrisia’s soldiers.
It was the power of the elite knights of the Seldam Kingdom.
Jamie looked around and said.
“Seems too easy.”
This ant that back in Aegean, not many soldiers were left.
The two walked towards the mansion along the bloody path.
This was the temporary residence used by the people from Katarina’s army.
They had to retake the place and prepare for the next battle.
Kreon’s army was coming.
